Life will have its ups and downs
We will see the best of days
And burn in the fires of the worst
We will breathe in the fresh air
And exhale the smog and grime
But never forget the good days
Keep those thoughts close to your heart
Protect them with hellfire and brimstone
For when the days do go to hell
And all looks hopeless
You can slip back to when the times were good
When we were in good company
In good hands
Safe from the winds
And the howls of all the evil we see
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing except the memories we keep
So dear, please remember
Keep only the good ones
And leave the rest behind
For no one needs that extra baggage
And it can serve a good purpose
Leave it behind
And let it be stumbling blocks
For your personal Mephistopheles
Who is grabbing for your heels
